The Sixth World Congress on Engineering Asset Management (WCEAM) will be held in conjunction with the National Science Foundation Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Intelligent Maintenance Systems’ 10th Anniversary and 22nd Industrial Advisory Board Meeting. WCEAM will take place October 2-4, 2011, followed by the IMS Center’s Industry Advisory Board Meeting on October 5, 2011.

The World Congress on Engineering Asset Management is the annual meeting of the International Society of Engineering Asset Management (ISEAM: www.iseam.org) that originated from a biennial series of the Asia-Pacific Conference on Systems Integrity and Maintenance (ACSIM) which ended in 2005. The inaugural event of this new congress series was held in 2006 on the Gold Coast in Australia; followed by Harrogate, UK in 2007; Beijing, China in 2008; Athens, Greece in 2009; and Brisbane, Australia in 2010.

WCEAM attracts eminent academics, industry practitioners and research scientists from around the world. These researchers and professionals convene to present their cutting-edge work and findings, as well as share project experiences and best practices. The ultimate goal of the Congress is to advance the body of knowledge in Engineering Asset Management (EAM), strengthen the link between industry practitioners, academia and technology providers, promote the development and application of research, and showcase state-of-the-art technologies. This Congress expects to attract over 300 diverse attendees from around the world
